Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Fresh from winning the One Hour title at the just-concluded Diamond League meeting in Brussels, Sabastian Sawe will seek to break the world record for the rarely run event.<\/p>\n

Sawe won the race by running a national record of 21.250km, missing out on Mo Farah\u2019s world record of 21.330km.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am really happy that I got the One Hour national record. Maybe next year I can run even further. I feel it’s possible,\u201d Sawe said.<\/p>\n

Sawe revealed how he executed his game plan. \u201cI attacked after 35 minutes. That was the plan and it worked out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Commonwealth Games 10,000m bronze medalist Kibiwott Kandie and Albert Kipkorir placed second and third after covering respective distances of 20.940km and 20.171km.<\/p>\n

Kandie said he was satisfied with the result, revealing that he was nursing a knee injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the first time that I competed in the One Hour race in a stadium. At the beginning of the season, I had a knee injury and that made it impossible for me to reach my best levels. However, I’m satisfied with the result I have obtained. The race was not easy,\u201d Kandie said.<\/p>\n

Kipkorir hailed his fans, saying their cheers inspired him to keep pushing through the tough race. He added the weather was his major challenge since it was too hot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy with my race. It was very challenging and tough. It helped to be cheered on by such an amazing crowd; they were cheering a lot and that gave me the morale to keep pushing,\u201d Kipkorir said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m used to running in hot conditions but it was too hot here, a different kind of heat. My season is over now so I will be enjoying some rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Kenyans in the race were Emmanuel Kipchumba and Michael Kamau, who finished fourth and sixth in 19.996km and 19.316km respectively. Joshua Belet and Levy Kibet did not finish the race.<\/p>\n
